Five Boroughs Trivia: the daily NYC quiz
Seven questions, one city, every day. Five Boroughs Trivia is a free browser trivia game about the New York everyone argues over: which avenue is farther west, what the regular coffee comes with, which train stops at the most stations. Everyone gets the same daily set, so your 6/7 means something on the group chat. The finale is The Gauntlet, a question with no right answer where the crowd is the judge. Fold the slice: yes or no?

FAQ
What is Five Boroughs Trivia?
Five Boroughs Trivia is a free daily NYC trivia game from The NYC Plug. Every day there is one set of seven questions, the same for everyone: transit, food, streets and geography, music and movies, history, only-in-NY, and The Gauntlet, a final judgment call with no right answer where matching the crowd is what scores.
How does The Gauntlet work?
Question seven has no correct answer. It is a judgment call (fold the slice: yes or no?), and each option carries the share of the crowd that picks it. Match the majority and you earn the points. Break from the pack and the city respectfully disagrees.
Do I need an account or a download to play?
No. Five Boroughs Trivia runs free in your web browser on any phone or computer, with no download, no account, and no sign-up. Your streak, best score, and played days are saved on your device.
What is sesh mode in Five Boroughs Trivia?
Sesh mode is the same seven daily questions with a shorter clock: 10 seconds per question instead of 15. Faster answers earn a bigger speed bonus either way. Like all our games, it is for entertainment only, not a sobriety or impairment test.
When do new questions come out?
Every calendar day gets a fresh set of seven, and the whole city sees the same set. Play daily to build your streak; miss a day and the streak resets to one.
